Pratishtha Deveshwar is a DEI and disability inclusion consultant, public policy professional, and international speaker, working with organisations to build accessible, inclusive, and legally compliant workplaces.
An alumna of the University of Oxford, where she studied public policy, Pratishtha brings together policy expertise, lived experience, and institutional insight to help organisations move beyond intent and towards measurable inclusion. Her work focuses on disability inclusion, accessibility, and DEI systems aligned with Indian law and global ESG expectations.
Pratishtha has advised and engaged with corporates, universities, CSR foundations, and public institutions, supporting them through disability inclusion audits, DEI and sensitisation workshops, and policy and compliance advisory. Her approach is practical, evidence-based, and grounded in real organisational challenges rather than symbolic or one-time interventions.
As a person with lived experience of disability, she offers a perspective that is both deeply informed and uniquely actionable — helping leadership teams understand not just what inclusion means, but how to implement it effectivelywithin existing systems and structures.
Her work and insights have been featured across national and international platforms, and she is a frequent speaker at conferences, academic institutions, and leadership forums on issues of disability inclusion, equity, and public policy.
Through her consulting practice, Pratishtha partners with organisations seeking to strengthen inclusion, reduce compliance risk, and build workplaces that are accessible, equitable, and future-ready.
